Peak Forest Canal, Strawberry Hill & Fox Inn

This 7 mile walk from New Mills is a moderate walk on good paths but on a winters day it will be muddy, so good sturdy footwear is advisable.
A small section at the beginning of this walk is on a busy road side so extra care is to be taken.

On this walk we will be crossing the partly cantilevered steel walkway, 'The Millennium Walkway' it spans across the Torrs Gorge. It was completed in 1999. It was the missing link for the Mid Shires Way, thus now allowing walkers to walk the whole scenic trail of 275 miles without any disruptions.

Back to the walk.... So after crossing a very busy road we will head towards the Peak Forest Canal for a couple of miles before we reach the turning point to Strawberry Hill. Lots of pasture walking, canal side walking and lovely scenery.

We are a group of like-minded adults who share the same interest, the great outdoors.
This a a guide to what we do and what we expect from our members.
Our leaders/event hosts are volunteers, they're there to guide groups on walks in the countryside, they're not responsible for each and every participant other than themselves.
It is expected that all participants to be fully responsible for themselves and their own safety, we do not employ first aiders or qualified walk leaders. Participants are also expected to attend every walk with suitable clothing, footwear and any other equipment, that includes waterproofs for wet weather and walking poles if you need them regularly. Enough food and drink for the day is also required.
Some activities in more mountainous regions such as the Lake District, Wales and Scotland, can be more challenging, our walk leaders will use the principal of the groups safety at all times and if the conditions dramatically change for the worse, they will reserve the right to end the walk and turn back. A full and concise descriptions of the terrain will be published in the event write up stating what to expect on the walk, terrain using the best of our knowledge. Also to give our members an insight of what to bring such as walking poles, crampons and wet weather gear.
